About Rebecca
Dr. Rebecca Thompson brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work as a California psychologist. She draws on a long career in neuropsychology to help people understand how thinking, feeling, and behavior connect after distressing events. She listens openly and helps clients set practical goals for clearer daily functioning and better emotional balance.
Her approach blends practical problem solving with careful attention to each person's history. She offers cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Trauma-focused methods are used to address the effects of violence, accidents, or other traumatic experiences. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, sleep problems, and reaction to illness or injury.
Dr. Thompson also supports people facing life changes, compassion fatigue, and the challenges first responders often report. She helps those coping with long-term pain, traumatic brain injury, or the aftermath of a natural or human-caused disaster. Sessions include discussion, strategy-building, and practiceable steps clients can try between meetings.
Clients can expect a collaborative pace where the therapist offers guidance and shared decision making. She aims to meet people partway, encouraging responsibility while providing direction and options. Her background in neuropsychology informs careful, thoughtful suggestions rather than quick fixes.
Dr. Thompson practices in California and works in English. She accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details directly through the site.
How CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy are used online
Dr. Thompson uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and task-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related issues. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and on reducing the symptoms that follow, such as intrusive memories, avoidance, or heightened startle reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, past experiences, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize cognitive behavioral techniques, trauma-focused work, or a mix of both as progress unfolds.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to sustain regular appointments over time. It can reduce travel, allow quicker check-ins between sessions, and make scheduling around work or caregiving easier. The therapist accepts international clients, but the biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. This helps ensure sessions match your routine and practical needs.
